Davy Crockett
In this biography I will be discussing the life of David Crockett also known as Davy Crockett. I’m going to be talking about his birth in the Tennessee Mountains all the way to his death in the Alamo war. Crockett was the fifth of nine children and the fifth son born to John and Rebecca Hawkins Crockett. The Crockett’s were a self-sufficient, independent family. Crockett was born August 17, 1786 in a small cabin on the banks of the Nolichucky River, near the mouth of Limestone Creek in Tennessee. Growing up Davy lived a rough childhood as his dad failed at being a farmer, a mill operator, and storekeeper. Their Crockett family then fell in debt and Davy was forced to work. His father put him at work driving cattle to Virginia when he was 12 years old. When the summer came that year Davy was enrolled in school, he spent 5 day in school then got in a fight with one of the school boys and he played hooky for several weeks later. Later on his father found out about his hooky playing and Davy got scared and ran away to escape punishment by father. This "strategic withdrawal," as Crockett called it, lasted 2½ years while he worked as a wagoner and day laborer and at odd jobs to support himself.
